I’ve always found it strange when people love the toys, medical advances, and money-savers that are created through scientific research but don’t want to pony up to support it. Sure, much of that money will go pretty directly to getting grad students drunk but the part that goes into test tubes and tubes for smashing things together always pays itself off in the end. Also, my time on the internet has prevented me from being able to write the word science! without an exclamation point.
